You have all new CDJ's, Mixer and an EFX. If you were going all ableton, why did you buy all that other gear? (just curious)

I had all of the Pioneer stuff well before I went fully digital. I still use the EFX 1000, and the mixer is okay for now until something better comes along. I really don't need the CDJ's but am keeping them because I have friends that use them sometimes. If I could unload everything and not get hosed believe me I would. Everything works for me right now. All I need is a Zero 8 and a few other midi controllers and I should be good.

very nice setup, but the pioneer looks horrible rotary

I love the rotary knobs, i'll never go back to faders. The DJM 800 isn't my favorite mixer but the alternatives are not very appealing to me right now, especially considering the fact that i'll lose a lot of $$$ if I sell the DJM. It's just not worth it. Once I find suitable midi controllers I can pretty much run everything through 2 channels, so the mixer won't be as important. Perhaps i'll pick up a Xone 92 at that point....

He also lives in Beverly Hills. Not sure if you're familiar with southern CA, but entry level houses in that area (if you can call it that) cost upwards of a million dollars if I recall. Combined value of all that equipment...maybe a few thousand.

Nope, not even close.

It was intended to be a joke, making reference to the fact that he is able to buy thousands of pounds worth of equipment he doesn't really need. I do know that houses cost more than the price of 1 laptop, 2 CDJ1000's, and an efx1000.

Talk about trolling...

I bet if most of you had millions you'd easily put it into your favorite hobby/activity, hell I'd buy 4 macbooks just to have 4 macbooks; each doing their own task. When you've got money, the line between necesitty and a non-necesitty diminishes and when you've got that money and you want something you can afford easily, of course you'll get it. What the hell would you save it for?

Very nice gear Simo

Noone 'needs' any of this crap.
But when you are in a position to be able to buy things, then thats your call.
You can view this thread in two ways:
1- a chance to look at how others set their stuff up, and the choices they make, and use it for some inspiration
2- A 'my cock is bigger than yours' contest.


You would hate me if i post up pics of mine now.... so I won't. Selling half of it anyway.

What do you think of the Firebox?

The Firebox is great. I've had no issues with it at all. For the price it can't be beat. Sure you can buy an M-Audio (or other brand) card with more outputs for the same price or cheaper, but from my research and from talking with others those cards tend to have their issues. I bought mine new on Ebay for $275 shipped. Just make sure you won't need more than 3 outputs and you'll be okay.

If I could take it back I would have paid a little more and bought a used Motu Ultralite........

can help set it up into cubase pleas?
